dc.description.abstract | In terms of lifestyle, the first Christians were, according to the New Testament, in constant interaction with their non-Christian environment. This was even so when that society responded critically or dismissively. How dynamic was the relationship between ethics and missionary awareness? This article charts a biblical-theological quest through the Epistle to the Hebrews, a New Testament letter addressed to Jewish-Christian readers who should refocus their lives in a time of crisis. The writer of this letter urges them to look in faith to Jesus Christ, the superior high priest in heaven, this being a hint for future readers who also desire to persevere in a time of crisis. | en_ZA |
